Xue Moqian ignored her calls and took Liu Rangchen to move left and right between the corridors and pavilions of Shura Palace, using the complex terrain to deal with the pursuers behind him.

Every turn and every jump he made was just right, and he narrowly avoided Ji Wushan and Luo Jingyu's repeated attempts to capture him.

Ji Wushan and Luo Jingyu were extremely anxious. They led a large number of demon soldiers and followed closely behind like a tide. Their footsteps were as deafening as thunder. The entire Shura Palace was shrouded in this tense atmosphere.

The demon soldiers waved their weapons, trying to cut off Xue Moqian's way from all directions, but Xue Moqian was always able to keenly sense the danger and react in advance.

At a corner, Xue Moqian saw that the road ahead was blocked by a group of demon soldiers. He jumped high again and flew over the heads of the demon soldiers, but the weapons of the demon soldiers were only millimeters away from reaching him.

After landing, he continued to run out of the hall without stopping.

Ji Wushan and Luo Jingyu became increasingly anxious when they saw how agile and elusive Xue Moqian was. As they chased after him, they shouted to the demon soldiers to surround him, trying to force Xue Moqian into a desperate situation.

However, Xue Moqian, relying on his familiarity with the terrain of Shura Palace and his extraordinary agility, skillfully resolved crises time and time again, and gradually led Liu Rangchen away from the dangerous area.

Ji Wushan and Luo Jing's feathered sleeves rustled in the wind. They knew that this opportunity was hard-won, and if they failed to kill Liu Rangchen in one fell swoop, the consequences would be disastrous.

At the very least, they would suffer the terrifying wrath of the Demon Lord. Under the Demon Lord's wrath, they would probably not even have the chance to beg for mercy.

In the worst case scenario, the entire Shura clan will fall into an abyss of no return, swallowed by endless darkness, and all their former glory and honor will vanish into thin air.

Ji Wushan's face was stern and she quickly formed seals with her hands in front of her chest. As she moved, the air around her seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, becoming sticky and oppressive.

In an instant, black runes emerged from her palms like snakes, circling and interweaving in the air, emitting a heart-pounding evil aura.

These runes merged and transformed, gradually condensing into a huge black skull with green flames burning in the eye sockets of the skull.

A series of low roars came from the empty mouth, as if it was an evil ghost from hell, pouncing towards Xue Moqian with fangs and claws.

Luo Jingyu was not to be outdone. He suddenly thrust the sword in his hand into the ground, gripped the hilt tightly with both hands, and muttered something.

The long sword stuck in the ground hummed, and the sword body shone with light. Then a sharp sword energy broke out of the ground, like a dragon breaking out of the ground, winding towards Xue Moqian.

Wherever the sword energy went, the ground was cut into deep grooves, with gravel flying and dust filling the air, as if the earth was groaning in pain under this powerful force.

Xiao Si is also a ruthless fox. He never backs down even when he knows he is no match for his opponent.

The tails behind him were like nine dancing flames. One tail tightly protected Liu Rangchen, forming a transparent red barrier, which kept Liu Rangchen firmly inside and protected him from external harm.

The other eight tails joined the battle like eight sharp weapons.

The eight tails swung rapidly in the air, leaving a trail of afterimages. The tip of each tail flashed red light, and the light gathered together to form a huge red ball of light.

Xue Moqian pushed the light ball hard towards the black skull and sword energy. The light ball met the skull and sword energy in mid-air, and suddenly a strong light and shock wave burst out.

The light was as dazzling as the sun, making it impossible to look directly at it. The shock wave spread in all directions in ripples visible to the naked eye. Wherever it went, the walls of the palace were shaken and stones fell.

Ji Wushan quickly changed her seals with both hands again. Under her control, the black skull suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a puff of black smoke.

The smoke was like a black cloud, quickly covering Xue Moqian and Liu Rangchen.

This smoke contains a powerful corrosive force. Once it comes into contact with an object, it will make a "sizzling" sound and quickly corrode it.

Xue Moqian's eyes shone, and he controlled the red light ball to hit the black smoke. The light ball and the smoke collided with each other, making a crackling sound, like countless firecrackers exploding at the same time.

The red ball of light moved forward with difficulty in the smoke, and its light was gradually obscured by the smoke, but Xue Moqian did not give up. He increased his power output, and the light on his tail became more and more dazzling, trying to disperse the black smoke.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, suddenly, Xue Moqian discovered a tiny flaw in Ji Wushan's moves.

His eyes lit up, and without hesitation he controlled his tail to attack the flaw.

Ji Wushan was startled and quickly withdrew some of his strength to defend himself, but he was still a step too slow and Xue Moqian's tail brushed his arm, leaving a cut on his sleeve.

Xue Moqian turned around and ran back. The roads in the palace were complicated and he planned to use the terrain advantage to escape the pursuit of Ji Wushan and Luo Jingyu.

Ji Wushan and Luo Jingyu were not willing to give up. They followed closely and entered the palace.

Xue Moqian quickly shuttled through the palace, turning back from time to time to attack the pursuers behind him, trying to slow down their speed.

As time passed, Ji Wushan and Luo Jingyu became increasingly anxious, and their attacks became more and more fierce. The two of them cooperated tacitly and blocked all of Xue Moqian's retreat routes.

In desperation, Xue Moqian had to transform back into human form.

His tall and straight body stood firmly in front of Liu Rangchen, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and fearlessness, as if he would never retreat even in the face of thousands of troops.

Then, he quickly took out a pitch-black token carved with mysterious runes from his waist. The runes flashed with strange light, as if hiding endless majesty.

Xue Moqian held up the token high, displayed it in front of everyone, and shouted:

"Everyone, step back! When you see this token, you will see the Demon Lord in person! Anyone who dares to disrespect will be killed without mercy!"

The sound resounded like a huge bell, shocking everyone present instantly.

Luo Jingyu was so angry that his whole body was shaking, "Xiao Si! How dare you steal the token of the Demon Lord? Are you tired of living?!"

Xue Moqian raised his chin, a smug look on his face, "Third brother, you are wrong, I didn't steal this, the Demon Lord gave it to me personally.

He repeatedly told me to take good care of his beloved baby, and also said that if there was an emergency and I was defeated, I would take out this to deal with you!"

When these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and confusion. They never thought that the Demon Lord actually had a back-up plan.

Ji Wushan tried to persuade Xue Moqian, "Xiao Si, Second Sister asks you, are you loyal to our Shura Clan and the Demon Lord?"

Xue Moqian nodded without hesitation, "Of course, second sister. The Demon Lord has been very kind to me, so I will naturally be loyal to him."

Ji Wushan nodded slightly, "Then let me tell you, it's not that your third brother and I want to kill innocent people, it's just that this pretty boy is good at confusing the Demon Lord.

Look, since he appeared, the Demon Lord has neglected so much government affairs for him. If we don't deal with him in time, our clan will be doomed. Xiao Si, do you understand what I mean?"

Luo Jingyu also stepped forward slowly, "Xiao Si, you have to listen to your second sister and third brother. I don't blame you for your poor brain, but you have to return the person first, and I will talk to you slowly later, okay? Come on, Xiao Si is the best, give him to me..."

Xue Moqian got furious when he saw him coming forward, "Don't come over! No, this matter is not negotiable. If he dies, the Demon Lord will be sad!"
